Of Salt and Spirit showcases 51 quilts, 12 portraits, and research from Roland L. Freeman’s archives to shape a love letter to Black quilters of the South. The exhibition represents decades of community building, intergenerational relationships, and a care for Black life and history. Exhibition design foregrounds the quilters and underscores the timeless and universal artistry of quilting. Bright colors, natural materials, portraits of quilters, contemporary fonts, and pattern exude a celebratory spirit.
